If Democratic Rep. Gary Peters\u2019 gutter-ball personal attacks on Rocky Raczkowski have taken the 2010 race for the Congressional 10th to new lows, they have inspired new heights of wicked commentary from Rocky\u2019s Oakland County fraternity brother, Brooks Patterson.<\/p>\n
While Raczkowski has responded to Peters\u2019 with stern press releases, the county exec \u2013 and the state GOP\u2019s most charismatic pol – has launched an entertaining arsenal of searing poetry and video volleys at Peters in Metro Detroit media.<\/p>\n
The theme? Peters is a mud-slinging phony \u2013 a Pelosi poodle who is attempting an Extreme Makeover after selling Michigan down the river with Obama\u2019s far-Left agenda. In his Detroit News \u201cBrooks Blog\u201d this week, Patterson waxes poetic in \u201cAn Ode to Gary Peters\u201d:<\/p>\n
If Peters would run on his record Oakland County voters aren’t stupid On Monday, September 27, Patterson does his imitation of the lead singer for \u201cThe Platters\u201d:<\/p>\n Ooh ooh, yes, I’m the great pretender I’m dedicating this classic song to Congressman Gary Peters. Why? Because he is pretending to be something he’s not you see. There’s a word for that: phony. The Great Pretender can claim to be a friend to small business in his campaign ads, but his 98 percent vote in lockstep with Pelosi and Reid’s programs sings a different tune. In a September 30 blog, Brooks accuses Peters of being \u201ca wolf in sheep\u2019s clothing.\u201d On October 4, Peters is \u201crunning from his record.\u201d Then Brooks puts it all together in a video tour-de-force for The Oakland Press. Like a fighter weaving in an out of Peters\u2019 reach, Peterson jabs his finger at the camera and challenges Peters to explain his smears on Rocky\u2019s business record.<\/p>\n \u201cAre you listening here, Congressman Peters?! It\u2019s not his partner (who is suing Rocky). His promoter is suing six vendors. This is what I mean. He\u2019s a phony. He\u2019s really starting to tick me off.\u201d<\/p>\n Slam, wham, bang. This is better than \u201cDetroit 1-8-7.\u201d Keep it up, Brooks, and Lansing will throw you a 40 percent film tax break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If Democratic Rep.

\nHis campaign would be a big dud
\nThat’s why he has gone so negative
\nAnd has been busily slinging mud<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWe’re smarter than the average bear
\nWe still remember Peters voted for
\nThe Stimulus, Cap & Trade and Obamacare<\/em><\/p>\n
\n(ooh ooh) Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
\nI seem to be what I’m not you see…<\/em><\/p>\n
\nOoh ooh, I seem to be what I’m not you see. . . .<\/em><\/p>\n
